Extract

Stammering has been and still is one of the most challenging disorders in psychiatry. It may be the result of constitutional or neurological differences (Karlin, 1950; Boland, 1951), of delayed auditory feed-back (Lee, 1951), of neurosis or of a learned response (Wischuer, 1950, 1952). Schmoigl et al. (1967) studied 50 cases of stammering and found abnormalities in 70 per cent of cases. The possibility of organicity in stammering tempted us to make EEG studies in Egyptian stammerers.
